A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

"Don't feel burdened. Since Ling Yuan entrusted it to you, he must value your abilities highly. The Endless Realm has been without a master for a long time, it's time for it to have one."

"Aren't you... going to do something else?"

Feng Jiutian frowned in confusion. The old man's reaction was clearly not what she had expected, and she also felt that the old man's attitude was a bit strange.

"Uh... is there anything else you need me to do?"

The old man was somewhat puzzled by Feng Jiutian's question, and tilted his head slightly to ask, "Could it be that the Domain Lord dislikes my poor hospitality?"

"No, it's not."

Feng Jiutian quickly waved his hand, then said with some confusion, "I just took the Endless Realm like that, aren't you going to test me?"

This butler seems to do things completely unpredictably!

“I have complete confidence in the person he chose. He also personally gifted you the Domain Lord's Token of the Endless Domain. Since it was his choice, why should I object?”

The old man chuckled as he got off the soft couch, stood before Feng Jiutian, and solemnly and respectfully bowed with his hands clasped.

"Yan Shi'en, steward of the Endless Realm, greets the Second Domain Lord!"

"Get up quickly."

Seeing that Yan Shien bowed without warning, Feng Jiutian quickly reached out to help him up, saying with a wry smile, "I am just a minor spirit master and cannot bear your courtesy. Besides, you are already a god, and you should have set up your own residence long ago. Why are you still staying in the Endless Domain as a lowly steward?"

"It's a commitment."

Yan Shi'en straightened up, his expression particularly serious, and said, "This promise is one I made to Ling Yuanzi personally, and I must not break it."

Feng Jiutian was taken aback, and a sense of respect for the old man arose in his heart. He nodded and said, "It seems that you have deep feelings for Ling Yuan."

"It's not that deep. At first, I was just unwilling to accept losing to him, but later I truly admired him. He is a man of his word, and I thought that since I lost to him in terms of strength, I must not lose to him in terms of character!"

Yan Shi'en stroked his beard and laughed, looking extremely pleased with himself.

"..."

So it was because of a promise... that they had been stuck in the Endless Realm for nearly a hundred years?

"Come, come, please let the Domain Lord play another game of chess with me."

Yan Shi'en seemed oblivious to Feng Jiutian's thoughts, gesturing towards the soft couch and saying, "Please." "You and Lingyuan both seem to enjoy playing chess?"

Feng Jiutian casually said while fiddling with a white chess piece, "When I first met him, he also dragged me to play chess, and he was even unhappy about the formation on the chessboard."

"That guy has had this bad habit for hundreds of years and still can't get rid of it."

Yan Shi'en seemed to have thought of something, and chuckled, saying, "Back then, when he lost a game of chess to me, he thought of tampering with the chessboard and forcibly created a formation to hinder me."

"However, at first his formation was not very sophisticated, and I easily broke through it. Gradually, he created a formation called a formation within a formation on the chessboard, thinking that this would make me admit defeat."

"What a pity..."

Yan Shi'en sighed, twirling the black chess piece, his eyes slightly vacant, as if he had already drifted off into thought.

Feng Jiutian listened quietly, a warm feeling rising in his heart as he lowered his head.

According to Yan Shi'en's description, his relationship with Ling Yuan can be described as both friendship and enmity. Yan Shi'en was unwilling to admit defeat, and Ling Yuan was unwilling to back down, which is why the steward still guards the Endless Realm hundreds of years later.

If one can meet such a close friend in one's lifetime, it is certainly a fortunate thing.

Feng Jiutian thought of Feng Zhi and the others, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"Has the Domain Lord thought of something good?"

After Yan Shi'en came to his senses, he saw the smile on Feng Jiutian's lips and couldn't help but ask, "Or are you thinking of your little lover?"

A slight blush appeared on Feng Jiutian's icy face, and she quickly denied it: "No!"

Where did she get this lover from...?

As she was thinking this, Mo Shaoxie's silhouette involuntarily appeared in her mind... Shaking her head, Feng Jiutian looked at Yan Shien and asked, "Then, did you break that formation within a formation from back then?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shi'en's smile froze for a moment. He coughed lightly, his gaze darting around: "Well... this old man..."

Judging from his appearance, it was clear that Yan Shi'en had not broken through.

Feng Jiutian reached out and tapped the chessboard. Suddenly, the elements in the air fluctuated, and an array instantly condensed on the chessboard.

Ling Yuan passed on his complete array formations, barriers, and restoration techniques to Feng Jiutian, which enabled Feng Jiutian to draw the array formation exactly as it was.

However, her cultivation level was not as profound as Ling Yuan's, so it was a bit difficult for her to do it, but it still surprised Yan Shi'en.

"This……"

He looked at Feng Jiutian, then at the formation. It was clear that the spiritual energy fluctuations of the formation on the chessboard had reached a level that shocked Yan Shi'en. Although Feng Jiutian's cultivation was only at the late stage of the Spirit Master realm, the divine sense within it was already comparable to that of Ling Yuan back then!

Ling Yuan has already reached the level of a God-Breaking Venerable!

After looking at it for a while, Yan Shi'en lowered his head and chuckled softly, "It seems that this continent ultimately belongs to the young people..."

"This formation has nine-tenths of his original ability. If you break through to the Divine Realm one day, you will probably be even stronger than him."

Yan Shi'en praised, and at the same time, he felt a surge of respect for Feng Jiutian, this junior.

If things continue like this, this little girl is sure to have a bright future...

Feng Jiutian twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled, but didn't say anything, as if she didn't care about Yan Shien's praise.

Because she had heard Xuanji Zi say that too much.

"Ugh……"

Yan Shi'en, who had initially seemed indifferent, sat up straight, looked down at the chessboard for an unknown amount of time, and finally let out a sigh: "So be it, so be it. What can I do when it comes to the promise I made to Ling Yuan back then?"

As he spoke, Yan Shi'en looked at Feng Jiutian and said with a heavy expression, "I'm not afraid to tell you this, but I originally intended to give you everything in the Endless Realm and then never care about it again."

"But since Ling Yuan has passed on this skill to you, I think it wouldn't be right to just leave like this. Since I've been the steward from the beginning, I will also be the steward of the Endless Realm in the future. This is my final destination."

As he spoke, Yan Shi'en let out a long sigh, his gaze drifting into the distance, as if he were recalling something.

"You are a man of integrity."

Feng Jiutian said something that made Yan Shien laugh, and then he chatted with Feng Jiutian for a long time.
